The East Bay Needs You Today

The government shutdown is threatening vital services like food assistance, leaving our most vulnerable neighbors at risk. At the same time, increased ICE activity is creating fear and instability—parents are afraid to pick up their children from school or go to work.

East Bay Community Foundation is deeply rooted in the community and connected to the organizations doing the most impactful work. If you’re concerned about these urgent issues, make a gift or request a transfer from your donor-advised fund. Our team will ensure your donation reaches the groups best equipped to respond to today’s most pressing needs.
